The ability to connect and network with online communities which have an interest in your product or service is in fact a great way which in my opinion all small businesses should be taking advantage of. Unfortunately, often the small business owner is busy running the day to day activities and don’t feel they have the background skills and time to work on using these method for driving business.

As a business owner it is critical to embrace the fact that one should be continually investing in themselves and in their businesses. So, in this respect one can hire a consultant or hire a technical graduate or intern to learn and implement in this area.

In addition to using the Web 2.0 tools it is advised to be creating products based on ones skill set to take advantage of the global customer base which their business’ internet presence gives them. The theme and key point is that ones website is more than just a website, it can and should be used as a business asset to drive offline business. The onus is on the business owner to invest in not just a website but a website which has equity and acts a business asset.
